The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1396

Mango was slightly stunned.

She knew when Bettany had left, and of course, she also knew that Bettany had betrayed Longford County. Mango still held this in mind.

Why did Bettany suddenly appear near the Baxter Alliance?

"Wisdom, don't see her yet. I'm afraid you'll be in danger."

Just as Mango finished speaking, she saw Wisdom's disappointed expression. However, he still nodded.

Because of Bettany, Mango and the children's conversation ended.

Nathaniel didn't say anything earlier, but Mango's mind was instantly filled with Wisdom's disappointed face. She couldn't help but sigh, "How should we deal with Bettany? Why didn't you say anything?" Nathaniel sat down opposite Mango and said in a low voice, "Human feelings are very complicated. No matter what Bettany has done to us, she is still sincere to Wisdom. She even took him to volunteer in Swovenia. To us, it may seem that she did this on purpose, but to Wisdom, Bettany is different. We can stop him from meeting Bettany, but how can we tell him the reason? Telling him the truth would hurt him, but if we don't, we are afraid that Bettany will hurt him. I understand that you are hesitating and worried. But he's still a child, he doesn't think as much as we do."

Mango knew that Nathaniel was right, but she was not by Wisdom's side right now, so she was really afraid that something would happen.

"Bettany betrayed Longford County. Do you think she is sincere to Wisdom?"

"You actually have an answer, don't you?"

Nathaniel looked at Mango with gentle eyes.

Mango glared at him with an annoyed expression and said, "Can't you just tell me what to do?"

"I will always support you no matter what you do."

Nathaniel's unconditional dote made Mango's lips curl up involuntarily. Although she still glanced at him arrogantly, her mood was obviously much better.

"Just to be clear, I'm not giving Bettany a chance. I just couldn't bear to see Wisdom unhappy. If Bettany still doesn't cherish it, and even if Wisdom blames me in the future, I will not allow her to get close to him again. Besides, my brother is a doctor too. I don't believe that there is no one else to teach Wisdom besides Bettany."

"Oh, look at you being all confident. Those who have brothers really are different."

Mango wasn't sure if Nathaniel was being sarcastic or not, but it made her very happy.

"Yes, I have a brother now too. I'm telling you, if you bully me in the future, my cousins, Lebanon, Walter, and Tristan will come for you."

Mango's proud and taunting look was so adorable that Nathaniel couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you challenging me? I have a brother too. Did you forget that I have Maverick? If we were to really fight, I may not lose to you."

"Hah!"

Mango rolled her eyes at him, and when she realized that the two of them were acting like kids, she couldn't help but laugh.

"I suddenly feel that I have become childish after being with you."

Nathaniel said softly, "Aren't I the one being influenced by you?"

"Of course not. By the way, we've been here for so long. We haven't heard from Walter yet. I hope Deborah is doing well too." Mango was thinking of home.

Too many things had happened these days, and although she was a little tired, she couldn't control being homesick.

The scenery here was no better than her own country's.

Seeing her like this, Nathaniel put his hand around her waist and said softly, "Just wait a little longer. We're going home soon."

"I know, I was just saying."

Mango was afraid that Nathaniel would be worried about her, so she quickly said with a smile.

Nathaniel said in a low voice, "Before I left, I asked Noah to check up on Walter. I also told Noah to get the best doctor to cure him. Deborah's new baby is well taken care of by the Grey family and Walter, so she's doing well too. Because we came here, the enemy's attention is drawn to us, so they are relatively safe. Two days ago, I received news from Noah that the toxins in Walter's body had all been cleaned up but because of the erosion of the toxins, his body is not suitable for having children in the next three years."

"What? Does that mean that..."

"Mango, there are two sides to everything. Fortunately, we discovered it early. Otherwise, Walter could not even have a child anymore. Although life is short, three years is a flash to them. Fortunately, everyone is now safe and sound. Isn't that the most important?"

Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Mango felt that she was not that upset anymore.

Indeed, if they hadn't noticed that Walter's body was contaminated, Deborah's child might be born dead or deformed, and even Walter might not be able to survive.

Fortunately, everyone was alright now, and they would only need to wait three years before having another baby.

"Alright. Don't worry about me. I always speak my mind, don't I?"

Mango patted Nathaniel's hand. Everyone was safe now.

Meanwhile, when Tristan came back, Priscilla was still pacing at the door, and when she saw Tristan, she was a little stunned. When she wanted to ask something, she heard Tristan say, "Why are you out here? Do you want to catch a cold? What's the matter? Don't you want an injection now?"

As he spoke, he reached out to pull Priscilla inside.

Priscilla was momentarily stunned.

Not many people knew that she was afraid of injections, not even Nathaniel. However, Tristan knew, and he looked like he was very familiar too. This made Priscilla's mind whirl in a mess. What had happened between her and Tristan?

Nathaniel said that Tristan once saved her life. How could she forget such a big favor?

And this man seemed like she owed him millions, and he didn't look like a doctor at all.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Priscilla was in a daze, Tristan couldn't help reaching out to tap her forehead. The pain made Priscilla frown a little, but unexpectedly, she didn't protest, which surprised Tristan a lot. "What's wrong with you? Are you possessed?"

"You're the one who's possessed."

Priscilla rolled her eyes at him and shoved him aside. Then, she walked towards the wine cabinet and poured herself a glass.

"Would you like a drink?"

"Please, this is my room. That's my wine. You're pouring my wine and you're asking me if I want it. Are you sure you're okay, Priscilla?" Tristan's mood was surprisingly good all of a sudden.

He had never thought of such a way to get along with others, but now he thought it was not that bad after all.

Priscilla, however, said calmly, "If you want me to stay here, everything is mine. I'm asking you because I think highly of you. What's wrong with it?" "Alright. Let's have a drink."

Then, Tristan threw his coat on the chair beside him.

Priscilla frowned slightly, and when she wanted to call for Maya, she managed to hold back in the end.

She poured Tristan a glass of wine, got up, picked up Tristan's coat, and hung it on a hanger.

Seeing this, Tristan was stunned once again.

She was acting like a wife to him, which made him very happy, but also confused.

"What's wrong with you? I'm not used to seeing you become this friendly to me."

"Do you like me being rude to you, then?"

Priscilla replied and returned to the counter to sit down. She shook the red wine in the glass in her hand and said thoughtfully, "Nathaniel said that you saved my life."

When he heard this, Tristan's eyes flashed with complicated emotions slightly, but his tone was indifferent.

"So? Do you want to repay me with your body?"

Priscilla didn't say anything.

Repay him?

If it was him, she was okay with it.

There was no hope for her and Nathaniel after all, and it didn't matter who she was with anymore. He was just another man anyway, and she could spend the rest of her life with anyone, couldn't she? Seeing the sadness in Priscilla's eyes, Tristan's good mood suddenly felt as if it was being pushed down with a stone.

"If that's your plan, then there's no need for it. After all, you've already repaid me once."

As soon as she said this, Priscilla raised her head suddenly, not noticing that she had spilled the wine in her hand.

"What did you say? You and I..."

"Yeah, I saved your life, and you gave me your body in return. We slept together. You've already paid what you owe me."

After saying this, Tristan suddenly felt that the room was suffocating. When he looked at Priscilla's unbelievable expression, he felt a little sad, as if someone had squeezed his heart.

"It doesn't matter. You should rest."

After that, Tristan got up and left.

He could not bear to see Priscilla sad, even if that

was a fact.

If it had been Nathaniel at that time, she would have been very happy.

Sure enough, loving someone or not made a huge difference.

Tristan turned up the corners of his mouth and flashed a bitter smile.

Meanwhile, Priscilla was completely stunned.

Had she slept with Tristan?

How was that possible?

But Tristan had no reason to lie to her, and if it weren't for the fact that she was too repulsive of this matter, she wouldn't have forgotten him.

Yes, she remembered that she saved Nathaniel, but why didn't she remember that Tristan had saved her too?

She had lost two years of her memory, but in truth, she had only forgotten everything that was related to Tristan.

Did she really forget it because of her injury and the surgery?

For the first time, Priscilla was doubtful.

Her mind was in such a mess that she didn't know what to do right now.

She wanted to find someone to talk to, but who could she find here?

Mango?

But Mango was Tristan's sister. Would she be on Tristan's side?

Thinking of this, Priscilla felt extremely conflicted.

This matter was a heavy blow to her.

She liked Nathaniel so much at that time, so why did she give herself to Tristan?

Did Tristan trick her? Or did something happen back then and it was automatically removed from her memory?

Priscilla's mind was in a state of utter confusion, and she felt that she needed to find Nathaniel to get to the bottom of this. Even if it would make Mango misunderstand, she had to find out what had happened back then.

With this in mind, Priscilla quickly went out of the room and walked toward Nathaniel's room before she had time to put on her coat. However, she suddenly saw a black figure lurking at the door of Nathaniel's

room.
